Patient Safety

The Patient and Family Engagement module of the ESRD Toolkit defines patient engagement in the context of end-stage renal disease facilities, discusses how to recognize and overcome obstacles to patient engagement, explains how to engage patients and their families in infection reduction, and helps your facility determine next steps to better engage patients and their families.

This document developed by the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control, and the American Water Works Association helps hospitals and healthcare facilities prepare for, respond to, and recover from a total or partial interruption of the facilities’ normal water supply. Water supply interruption can be caused by several types of events such as natural disaster, a failure of the community water system, construction damage or even an act of terrorism.
